MPs have called in the police to find the leaker who is responsible for getting the truth about the abuse of public funds by politicians into the public domain. How is that in the public interest?
UPDATE : Desperate Dan comments that if the police find the whistleblower they should give him a “CrimeStoppers” reward. A knighthood wouldn’t go amiss either.

Guido chuckled at the following exchange he had with a Tory insider:
Tory: “What’s Labour’s position on the Syria crisis?”
GF: “They say you should be talking to Russia.”
Tory: “Labour have been saying that since 1945.”
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
I wonder how much they will claim for messenger shooting?
Well, sir. The general public seem to be behaving themselves today. We might as well investigate the enemies of our pay-master. Snort.
These hoons cant even keep their expenses a secret and they expect me to carry a fucking ID around?
We need to wage a pogrom on the political system.
has anyone thought of just blowing parliment up with the hoons in it?
Why are the police not investigating the prima facie fraud and tax evasion and deception of the (2nd) home secretary?
Quod ad jus naturale attinet, omnes homines aequales sunt.
All men are equal before the natural law. Common law derives from the natural law. Crimes committed under common law include fraud, theft, deception. They cause loss and harm.
Leaking information that the high court decreed as being wholly within the common interest is NOT a crime, defrauding the public purse IS.
This foul and corrupt and decrepit stench laden necrotic government is now using the police as a blatant political attack dog against the public good and the public should NOT help, support nor give any form of cooperation to the police in this country unless and until the balance of law has been corrected back to one of equality for ALL before the law.
They are using the police as common thugs to enforce policy for the purposes of political oppression and of revenue collection. The Police have become a defacto political bully and revenue generation agency for the corporation of the state of the UK Plc That is a fascist police state, (in case you were in any doubt).
The Police service SHOULD be there as a public service, work as public servants to do their duty in upholding the law (instead of enforcing it) ensuring that there are NO delays in natural justice and working for the common good.
They should NOT be revenue generating agents, nor should they be the political enforcers of a political party.
This abuse of our constitution, and of the common law stretching back to Magna Carta MUST and SHOULD end and end NOW.
The MP’s who have actually committed a fraud against the public purse should be brought to trial. The MP’s that supported treason should be brought to trial and the MP’s that supported and enabled war crimes should be brought to trial.
The law is meaningless if it is not seen to be upheld by the members of the legislative house. WHY THE FUCK SHOULD WE, THE PEOPLE, OBEY ANY LAWS, IF THE LEGISLATORS THEMSELVES DO NOT???????
It is TOO LATE for the labour government to back themselves out of this one…
It is NOW time for LAWFUL (PEACEFUL) REBELLION AGAINST THE STATE. for WE the PEOPLE have far more REAL power over this country than the media and the powers that be imagine. We can shut this country down, we can end the monopoly of power of the current rotten government and we CAN do all this utterly and completely peacefully and 100% WITHIN the law of the LAND.
How?
Stop consenting to the optional policy of the seas, demand and enforce in law your rightful rights and obligations under the common law of this land of England. Take back what is rightfully and legally our birthright before the chance is revoked forever by fascists under their new world order.

Speaking of citizen’s arrests – I’ve made a list of the most outrageous claims in today’s DT.
I’ve had a fun stab at some possible culprits – do feel free to add your detective skills.
Aren’t those the same police who should be investigating the frightfully fraudulent Baroness Uddin?
Here here Mr Ned.
Can we please have our revolution now? I’m sure we are owed one and I’m bored. Molotov cocktail anyone?
I’m with you Mr Ned. Most of our MPs are a disgusting, greedy, self satisfied bunch of criminals.
They have been making expense claims that are just not within reason. Pens? Paper? The odd taxi or train ticket? Sure that’s fine.
But why should we pay for Prescot’s bog seat? Smith’s bath plugs? Gordon Brown’s cleaner? No fucking way.
It shows how little they think of the people that pay their wages.
@ Mr Ned. Well said and seconded.
Guido,
Could you organise a fund to help pay for the Public Interest defence of this national hero, if he or she is eventually tracked down by Knacker of the Yard. I’d certainly contribute.
Doesn’t matter really, all he/she needs to do is opt for trial, there is not a jury in the country that would convict him/her.
W.W.
Mr Ned should stop reading web sites set up by barrack room lawyers who know more about fish heads
Quite Jury no chance they’ll probably want any trial held in camera cos it’s national security init
Surely if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear?
So… let me get this straight.
I’m subject to a burglary. The thief is denounced due to an anonymous tip-off. However, the thief asks for and gets the police to investigate the person who shopped him, whilst the original theft is not investigated.
Now I understand these thieving political bastards.

Its not in the public interest. How can they justify that?! They get caught with their pants down but obviously fail to see that they should have kept their pants up in the first place! I wish i was surprised though….. but im not.
Words dont do justice to just how much this shower of bastards suck.
Caught red-handed with both hands in the cookie jar, guilty as hell with no possible defence, they have found a new way to abuse their powers – pick on someone smaller. Hang on, that’s not new, bullying has been quite in vogue in recent times. I wonder if it will be dealt with in the usual way.
God Bless the man or woman who released or sold this data.
Can someone explain to me why a bloke needs Tampons – what am I missing for gawds sake?????
The non-pregnant secretary/researcher is not pregnant?
They don’t like it up ‘em Mr Mainwaring!
Because it worked soooo well last time, didn’t it?
With luck, it could backfire on them and Mr Plod investigates the MPs for fraud and false accounting
Why not get all the evidence in front of a judge? He can then issue warrants for the arrest of the fiddlers.
Plods pay taxes maybe this is the “in” they need ,well I can hope.
And who pays the plods?You do,out of the “prefecture” allowance ,from your poll tax.
Time to play happy slappy.
Aha, sir. Move along now. Since when was it our job to investigate our fellow-troughers? Are you mad?
I proceeded in a northerly direction to apprehend the innocent, white tax-payer blah, blah, snuffle, etc………..
You proceed along to Hazel Blear’s residence. She’s as nervous as a very small nun at a penguin shoot. It’s beer o’clock and I’m going down the pub.
I have already emailed the Commissioner of the Met to ask him to investigate the Fraud. If in an enquiry they are to find a leaker, then if found they should investigate WHY they leaked.
Does anyone think that a jury would convict any person for leaking this information? Can you imagine all the MP’s Ministers and others being brought into court and questioned by the defence……. I vote for televising of court procedures!!
put his email here – I want to email him too.
You have to go on to the Met Police site. It doesn’t show up on your own computer. Sorry.
Is this another reason why Jack Straw is trying to do away with trial by jury?
I suppose we could go back to the times when the witches were put in a chair, dunked into the water, if they died they were innoent and if they survived they were guilty.
I vote for televising it all.
This is also why the labour government finally scrapped the death penalty for treason in 1998 too, I’ll bet. They knew that they would hand over UK PLC to become a smaller sunsidiary of the EU. Treasonous bastards!
“Fair comment” is a perfect defense in Law.
…And wasting police time in investigating leaks that are lawful “in the public interest”….
….AGAIN!
Yes find whoever it was and give them another £300k for performing a public service!!
This is such a clumsy and inept attempt by Liebour to get revenge on the whistleblower.By doing this, they feed the flames of this scandal story and increase the temperature of public indignation.Their arrogance is such that they have no idea of the public mood
Typical socialist vindictiveness.
Anyone against them is ‘against justice’, an enemy of the people and must be smashed.
This is not an act of revenge. It is a necessary action to preserve the integrity of Parliament. Such corrupt and dishonest, not to say unworthy behaviour by a trusted servant of the House must be punished and the miscreant exposed to the glare of publicity. The perpetrator should hang his, or her, head in shame for taking such self serving action.
@Brian Wooley:
If it were the case that this were not in the public interest, you might be right. But the words “Public Servant” have certain implications, one being a requirement to act in the public interest, even if that means giving details to a newspaper when the people potentially incriminated by those details are your bosses and wish you to keep quiet.
The only issue is that it is rumoured that the whistleblower took money in exchange for the data, but to be frank that could all have been avoided had there not been repeated attempts by MPs of all parties to prevent it from being published in full. So while I would not defend the sordid business of *selling* the information rather than simply giving it to the newspapers (assuming that money did indeed change hands), the result is certainly in the public interest.
And while we’re at it, there is simply no excuse for redacting MPs home addresses or the names of the stores from which they made their purchases. If MPs need “protecting” from their own constituents, it can only mean one thing: they are not representing us. And if they are ashamed now at buying gold-plated bath plugs when an ordinary rubber one might do, perhaps they should have considered that before charging it to the public purse?
Note that the high court HAS already deemed this information to be in the public interest. Public servants take an oath, that means that they have a duty in law to serve the public and that includes exposing fraud and wrong-doing.
That any of this was in the rules be damned! Many of these expenses were prima facie cases of fraud, deception and tax evasion. (not that these criminals even pay tax, as they are allowed to claim tax on expenses too!!!)
There is no difference in declaring different homes as a primary home for expenses purposes, and a completely different home again as a primary home for tax purposes, is NO DIFFERENT in moral terms from benefits fraud.
In Jacqui Smith’s case it is far worse than benefits fraud because she has claimed far more money than the average benefits cheat, in addition to tax evasion and deception. The fact that she is home secretary and is responsible for law and order makes this blatant crime absolutely unconscionable.
Not only is this woman not fit to be in Government, she is a serious criminal and should be in jail.
Or invited to take a walk in the country. It’s much quicker and avoids the embarassing details that would emerge if a trial was held.
I’m sure it’s not (just) an ZanuLiebour move, but one decided on by the Speaker – who must appreciate as well as any of his fellow MPs what damage would be done if “honourable” members were publicly exposed.
Why, the contrast between his own famous rectitude and the behaviour of some of the differently-moralled MPs would be enough to shame those concerned
What a fucking disgrace.
There could be a few quid in this for us.
OK course there is luv…
Just like your being retained to defend the RBS….
No fucking shame whatsoever, what a bunch of Huhnez.
I heard some mp on the toady show complaining that they didn’t get the recognition that they deserve – I disagree, I thinl you bastards are getting exactly the public opinion that you deserve.
Resign you bastards and give us an election.
p.s. any details on Ben Bradshaw yet?
I hear he’s thinking of leaving the zanulaba party, I’d like to ensure his trail of sleaze (if he has one) is made public first (and at the election)
FFS Damien Green, keep your bloody head down this time!
Big mistake. Anyone doubting that MPs had something to hide, will now be convinced that they do.
Was there anyone?
There must be a few decent men amongst the 648 – I saw a TV slot on South Today a few weeks ago – the New Forest MP was shown buying a 2nd class rail ticket to London to save our money – I am just hoping there is – otherwise this will be the day that Parliament finished for good.
interested to see what he claimed
so that explains why a standard single is £200 but anyone with sense buys the ‘saver’ ticket for £20….it’s all so MP spivs can claim the full amount on expenses.
What a bunch of fucking hoons.
Could be either of these.

Just bought a Virgin Train ticket to go Rugby to Edinburgh (for the Rugby Final). Choice of Standard Class £54.10, First Class £35.65. Same train! Rail ticketing is in such a mess wouldn’t surprise me is he bought the 2nd class ticket because it was more expensive.
If the pigs published the receipts when they were instructed to, then there would be no need to call in the, er, pi…
(Why weren’t the Police called in when MPs were sitting on their receipts? This stuff was supposed to be published and now (some of) it has been. Problem?… Another waste of police time.)
Fucking shame the Police haven’t got anything better to do, like catching criminals or fraudulent MPS, rather than chasing after public service whistleblowers.
Are you kidding? It takes a lot of manhours to cook up bogus raids on terrorists to distract attention from the corrupt lying twats in Westminster.
Have to agree with all the old lefties that used to bang on in the pub when I was a lad – the police are fascist tools of the establishment, man!
Yes, be fair, those students don’t arrest themselves, you know!
THE COPS ARE GOING TO BE FAR TOO BUSY..
EVERY MP IS GOING TO MAKE A CALL AND ASK FOR AN OFFICER TO ACCOMPANY THEM TO THE BANK!
Can’t they call in the police to report themselves for fraud??
The scum have no shame. Their defrauding of the taxpayer is exposed and their reaction is to punish the hero responsible.
And just look at Euro boys lining up at the trough.The Tories have a crash team in the S/W if ever there was one. Not good at accounts, failed party hack, europhile and a couple of good ones.UKIP should have a field day down south.
Euro elections – Yes,
General Election – No.
Can we now charge them with wasting police time?
Fucking bring it on.
There’s not a jury in the country who would convict whoever it is. Clive Ponting all over again, except this time it’s in a much better cause.
RIP Labour
By bringing in Plod, they’re clearly not content with mere annihilation in the General Election. The Liebour party is clearly going for extinction. Luvvit.
Can we all please march on Parliament on Sunday – let’s get at least 2 million of us on the streets – none of this militant crap we saw at the G20 – no masks allowed,just the decent British public marching along with Joanna and the Gurkha’s.
decent British public marching
Like the Countryside Alliance people ? We all know what happens when white people march, it’s truncheon practice time for plod.
Maybe if the Gurkhas came too tho’ . . .
Exactly!
There is a Gurkha security guard in our local shopping mall and there is never any trouble.
These guys could clear up the streets of the UK within a few weeks,replace the kettle brigade and we could all then let our children out to play and go out in the evening in safety.
March on Parliament on Sunday – bring your camera’s to record the beatings we will get but at least we will show these criminals what we think.
When my grandchildren ask me in 20 yrs time;
“Grandad,what did YOU do when the fraud and lies in Parliament was uncovered on 8th May 2009?”
“er,nothing,just wrote on a blog about how bad it was”………
It was the pro-hunting demo, not the CA march, when the police started the class war.
I’m up for a mass protest on Sunday. Also declare the rest of the year (or until a General Election is called) a public holiday.
Farmers and lorry drivers — get your trucks out — block every road. The French would be digging up the cobblestones by now.
The pigs have got their snouts in the trough and they have the audacity to call in the police to investigate who leaked the information? Its disgusting.
It’s beyond parody
It’s a PR exercise. McBride and Draper must be back on the payroll.
Its swine fever and no mistake.
Isn’t this a bit like the burglar asking plod to arrest the householder who hurt him when he tried to stop the burglar robbing him?
Is there any chance that someone could call in the Police to investigate the MPs for theft themselves?
Done…. but it needs MORE people to do it.
I seem to struggle to remember the name of the home secretary and the justice minister. They must have reputations beyond doubt and not caught out by the expenses disclosures, since otherwise surely they can not be running the relevant departments with cops and potentially judges involved.
We need to identify 650 lamp posts and a stock of strong piano wire.
There’s a perfectly good river
But that river has been cleaned up and is no longer polluted. We don’t want it fouled up again!
Givvus a shout when you find some. Piano wire is like honour, these days. Scarce.
Just heard this on the radio. Quite incredible. When they said ‘Breaking news, the government have asked the police to investigate …’, for one moment, I thought they might be about to mention Jack Straw, or one of the ‘flippers’, until they said ‘… how this leak came about’.
So they are going after someone who released information into the public domain … which should be in the public domain anyway seeing as we pay for the items on the disk.
Incredible. Misdirection of the brass neck variety.
Isn’t there an offence of wasting police time?
Is there any chance of arresting the plod who instigated this investigation for wasting the money of the tax payer who the Police are ostensibly working for and being paid by ?
can we start a new petition on the downer -sorry downing st – website. ” we the people demand, in the interests fo the future of our nation, that all Members of parlaiment resign with immediate effect. A national election to be held in which no current members are permitted to stand while all are invetigated for fraud”
Do it……. I bet it get’s rejected…..just like my petition for the Labour Party to repay David Abrahams £600,000 immediately.
They are running scared and won’t allow public anger to be manifested.
Guido, if you do one last thing before retiring, unearth the chain of instruction which has led to the Police being called in.
Time and time again.. just like the Gurkhas… it’s not the fact of the expenses which is making the public angry – it’s the defensive, bullying, arrogant and aggresive attitude displayed by members of this Government when they seek to avoid scrutiny.
I`m right with you there, it seems the Police are always more than happy to bend to the whim of Nu-Labour to save face and further embarrassment.
That`s the Socialist mantra, “do as we say not as we do”
Hear, hear. I’m fed up of this shower of shit using the police as their Brownshirts.
Thats why it’s so important to know who is trying to call them.
Somehow I have a sense that it is not the Tories…. Cameron’s fairly relaxed interview on the subject suggested that he doesn’t know of anything terrible and – if something emerges – he will be harsh on it.
But nothing is for certain in this case.
Spectator thinks that there are bigger fish in the cabinet to come on Sunday. I must say I thought that the choices today were a little tame, if understandable.
John Hutton ?Harriet Harman? Ed Balls? James Purnel?l John Denham? Yvette Cooper? Jim Murphy? Eddie Izzard?
Who wants to start a sweep stake?
Hear, hear!
Its not a “sweep stake” we need ,it’s a bloody brush,to clean out the “Gadarene swine”.
So why are the police going after the whistleblower who exposed the criminals, surely not because the criminals asked them to?
Oh yep, of course the Speaker of the Commons also has his snout in the trough and his son is an MSP and now his royal highness (he sits quite high) wants the police to investigate.
The Speaker is a worthless person. Just compare him with his predecessors. He has played his part in the debasement of politics in this country. He has sat there for too long. In the name of God, GO.
When and if an election is called, would somebody please stand against the Speaker. It is the only way to get rid of the thieving bastard
More realistically if it should ever come to pass that the operson in question (whistleblower of the moment) is found and prosecution is attempted a national whip round for a pound a piece is started for his/ her legal expenses. THe people vs the MP’s
Count me in – ready to donate.
Put me down for a tenner.
Put me down fror a tenner ?
I would give my vet a tenner to put the whole bloody lot of them down.
I’ll willingly give a tenner
How about instructing a barrister on standby ready to pounce when the Stazi nick him
How about Micheal Mansfield he hate’s the buggers as much as we do
The stench from this one will swirl around Cameron and at least two of his “mates”
I very much doubt that , the “Big Hitters” so to speak are not even in the Arena yet as Iain Dale points out…..
Should be an interesting weekend.
Given the profound success of police investigations into Cash for Honours, Abraham’s Donations and Damian Green, I would respectfully suggest to Stevenson that he says NO to this particular poisoned chalice!
Why should the police jump to every political whim of this discredited government?
Cos they is using the Data Protection Act 1998 as an excuse to ask the police to find the hero/culprit Claiming Broowns brother is an ordinary member of the public who’s been exposed.
Simple don’t take tax payers money in the 1st place & you’ll be OK
They’re looking for him to give him a Crimestoppers reward.
Going to nick that!
I`ll have to report that Guido
So what will that be, 50 extra points on your Tesco clubcard?
Wasting police time is an offence!
What would 100 gallons of pig swill cost with delivery to SW1?
Ask Peter “The Fixer” Mandleson I am sure he`ll get you a good rate
There’s some left over at Prescott’s place.
Nothing at all if you claim it on expenses
Touche!
Pigswill was, and maybe still is, a fantastic beer brewed by Stonehenge Ales. Thirsty now.
Who was it who had a load of horse shit put on expenses – he was land owning Tory wasn’t he – if you wrote this stuff as fiction you’d be laughed out of the publishers with a wee note ‘don’t phone us we’ll phone you’
Complete incompetence.
Blair would have had a D notice on this long ago, just like some town in Scotland starting with the same letter I seen to remember.
Could have buried this for 80 years, no problem.
Forgot about that – Dunblane wasn’t it?
How very New Labour to ask “Who said that?” instead of “Is this true?”
Oh I feel a public interest defence coming on.
And should I be the said mole and were nabbed I would be forced to sit down and make a very long list of allegations to the police of fraudulent activities by various MPs and Ministers who have clearly made false statements required for an accounting purpose (penalty 7 years).
They may run the defence of ‘I thought it was allowed by the rules’ but let’s see what a jury of their peers make of that one.
Would not work – under New Labour the CPS have new rules (intended to protect rape victims, which is good, but badly drafted by a government dominated by lawyers) that say that allegations against “victims” are inadmissable as evidence: these allow a young thug, with the aid of PC police, to persecute a pensioner victim, by claiming he hit back when attacked, even if he did not do so.
A jury of Labour peers would find no case to answer.
I thought wasting police time is also a criminal offence.
Has anyone put Baroness Uddin (recently moved address) away to the National Benefit Fraud Hotline 0800 854 440?
Report a benefit thief Online Form
https://secure.dwp.gov.uk/benefitfraud/
Uddins title should be withdrawn immediately.
Heather brooke should become Baroness Brooke….. or something similar
Don’t just sit at your computer trying to make clever comments! If you think her actions warrant a call to the hotline, go and do it yourself or just shut up.
Why do I keep remembering the name of Derry Irvine? I can’t quite remember…somewhere in my casebook….curtains…wallpaper…early days of Nude Labour…..can anyone come forward?
Irvine had been the Blairs’ pupil-master in Chambers when they were trainee barristers.Blair appointed him Lord Chancellor in 1997.He was another troughing Hoon and promptly ordered the redecoration of his office with, amongst other things, hand painted wallpaper.The decorations bill at the time came to over £i million.Imagine decorating part of your home and you will get the idea
If they catch him, will he be tried in the Court of Public Opinion?
He’ll be found not guilty. And they’ll be ordered to to erase is DNA data.
“And they’ll be ordered to to erase is DNA data”
After 12yrs of course.
Since it’s going via his plods as per Damian Green wonder what Boris will do ?
Its the usual load of rubbish. Have this bunch of losers not learnt anything?
The Tories narrowed the definition of the official secrets act to allow disclosure of items in the public interest which were not a threat to national security. Breach of employment contract is something else.
Self evidently Damian Green’s receipt of paper did not fall under that narrow definition. Plod was sent out anyway, lots of embarassment all round, top cops lose jobs, Asians locked up as a result of same cop’s incompetence, greater society upset and poliltical argument set back or lost in many areas unrelated, Speaker exposed still further Serjeant at Arms too! Met police shown on film to be cack handed and bullying.
So now these Geezahs want to take on the MSM? They lost when taking on the Bloggers and for all the declining circulations of the dead tree press, they still get seen by about 10million folk DAILY. Thats a lot of eyes seeing what a twat you are making of yourself. So each stage of the investigation gets reported on, the Met and the Home office and Parliament gets toasted again abnd the story stays in the Public Domain for longer.
I guess MP Bell, he of the Estimates Committee is at the bottom of this!
I think when Peter Mandelson buys his 300k retirement yacht, next year, I think we’ll know who released this disk.
As long as sails off into the sunset and doesn’t come back…that’d be fine with me.
In fact it would be one of the few public interest things he’s ever done, as far as I’m concerned.
Lord Mandelson of Boy is an odious liar who has now been exposed for the third time (that we know about) cheating and/or lying. He is an appalling person, exactly like, I am reliably informed by someone who worked with him, his late father. Like father, like son.
This is like robbing someone’s house, and then reporting them to the police because they had the nerve to complain about it.
Politicians are stealing from us. Let’s not forget that.
I think that has really happened!
How can a whistleblower be culpable. I undersrood the Tory/Labourgraph obtained the info through the Freedom of Information act.
Just get yourself in the cellars on November 5th and do the job right this time.
Here’s the kind of comment that the BBC considers to be likely to “provoke, attack or offend others; are racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise objectionable”:
“The problem with journalists like Nick Robinson is that they grew up in a society that distrusted politicians and was cynical of them.
This has led him to believe that fraud like this is “small beer” and not worthy of his valuable time. After all, “they’re all at it”.
It is sheer derogation of duty like this that sees our countries in the shambles it is in.
If Nick cannot muster the temerity to properly investigate those who govern us, he is not fit for his job and should resign. Failing that, he should be sacked.
If this does not happen, it is clear that the BBC is part of the problem, and any new government should conduct a thorough review into its continued taxpayer funding.”
It is an absolute disgrace that the BBC misuses their own guidelines to suppress criticism of their staff and their organisation, which WE PAY FOR!!!
good cooking programmes though.
as for Nick, last person i would want to put a bung in my oven.
Brown’s Bullshit Corporation = State Censorship
What, actually, is Nick Robinson for? He doesn’t report any breaking news. He investigates nothing. He is consulted by on-screen journos as though he were some sort of oracle and asked for his opinion which is invariably banal and no more illuminating or informed than anyone else’s. What is he for?
Regurgitating press releases?
very similar to the conqueror of Kabul, Bart Simpson …………… full of their own self importance.
Precisely.
Whenever complaints are made, the BBC whines on about reporting the news as it happens, not trying to uncover the news themselves.
However, they are quite happy to do so on their programmes like Panorama when they choose, so this is a nonsense.
And if it weren’t a nonsense, one would have to wonder how so much money goes to their news division when all they are doing is parroting news from other sources.
“efficiency savings” – we know where to start
Yuppers. You might as well let Nick Knowles loose on them. He is on the books, isn’t he? Oh yeah- 800k of our money. Fucking money for old rope. Nick. If you are watching, mate; fuck off and die you useless ©unt. Cheers.
Actually, some of us don’t pay for it – decided I didn’t want my hard earned money being spent on State propaganda.
Here’s the response to my complaint:
Dear xxx,
A lot of comments from Nick’s most recent post have been removed for the
reason “off topic”, and yours was one of them. There are of course
channels for complaining about any perceived bias in BBC reporting, most
importantly The Editors blog and the official complaints channel.
Thanks for getting in touch.

Interesting how the reason for removing it has now changed.
Also, how is comment about a piece Nick has written, where he asked for comments, “off-topic”?
Off-message for Labour HQ more like.
Bunch of fucking hoons.
[...] Crooks Call Cops Guido Fawkes [...]
They just don’t fucking get it do they?
Blinded by greed and avarice, perverted & corrupted by political power, MPs have become nothing more than parasitic vermin feeding off the Tax Payer.
Just wait till they have to get a proper job.
Until these lying, thieving, shitty, scumbags are tried and convicted, they can stick their justice and laws up their fucking arses (Mandleson et al excepted).
I’ll live by my own moral code and my first act of defiance will be to interfere with 1/2 a dozen eggs at my local supermarket (3 to 5 years I believe).
Dear Robespierre -what joy to see the ginger bonce of motormouth Blears falling into the basket. “Pour encourager les autres” you understand.
Calling in the Police is akin to an employee calling in the Police to investigate how their employer found out how much the employee earned. We pay the MPs salaries and expenses and we have a right to know how much they get.
Better be careful. Next time you get burgled you might find the old bill at your door blaming you for having the house.
It really is time for revolution.
The scum that sit in Parliament are beyond the pale. They need to know who is in charge.
OH, get things moving!
I’ve been revolting for decades.
Andybody fancy another walk?
I’ll come. Can I dress as Cromwell? I might have a go at EB.
Picture this: you, a householder, catch a burglar on the basis of a tip-off from a whistleblower; the burglar is arrested in flagrante delicto and insists that the police pursue the whistleblower for infringing his right to go about his unlawful business…..How would you feel if Plod started questioning you re the identity of said whistleblower ??
Answer: you’d suddenly remember we’re all living in La-la-la-Labourland

Just left the Neasden Branch of the Diversity Committee for the Rainbow Coalition and all the grunts have asked me to insist that you all make formal complaints to the Fraud Squad (0800 854 440) at the Met if you know anything that might lead to the nicking of or the collar feeling of said crooks residing in a number of second homes………and working in an address in Westminster SW1, known as the House of the Common Criminals….
Boss – I got your double pepperoni with extra chilli and have proceeded to place it on your ‘work’-station in a gingerly, light-fingered manner. Will you polish my truncheon now?
Well done, my son. Now what did you do with the Brown-Smith-Mandelson-Balls-Blair file? Left it on a train? What are you, a bleeding member of Her Majesty’s Government? And call me Guv in future. None of that ginger beer, ‘ere, sonny.
Old Holborn and his merry gang of cabin dwelling, buck toothed loonies.
Fuck off DT Ed x . **Ewanme gives a toothy grin and rubs her melons for good luck**
Loser E x .
I told you before Draper, you can’t join us. We do have standards you know. Now fuck off back to sucking off Mandlesnake round the back of Tescos, Droitwich.
“Desperate Dan comments that if the police find the whistleblower they should give him a “CrimeStoppers” reward.”
I’m sure his Lordship will sign off.
He might be charged with trying to derail the Westminster Gravy Train.
I think it’s safe to say that’s the thing he’s least likely to be charged with.
Might be worth an email to Vermin Coaker the Minister at the Additional Home Office to see whether they’ve managed to insinuate in all their all anti-freedom, oops, sorry, I mean counter-terrorism legislation some laws which prohibit citizens from being decent,upstanding members of the community.
Perhaps every constituent should call Crimestoppers and offer the name of their MP?
It’s all been within the rules; the needle on Gordon’s moral compass was pointing on ‘Purer than pure’
I feel a petition on the No10 website coming on: ‘Should the police identify the person who provided the DT with information on MPs’ expenses, that that person be awarded a knighthood.’
Might get a few signatures?
[...] Crooks Call Cops Guido Fawkes [...]
If the police had any bollocks, they’d tell ‘em to fuck off.
And can I also ask why the police is not investigating the financial rape of UK taxpayers by their elected members?
Because as evident when the Met had Labour Roses on their cars` they are in the pocket of the Government, the Police act like kids in a sweet shop with all the gadgets Nu_Labour let them have, and the Liberties we hand over without a whimper.
” In 1829 Sir Richard Mayne wrote:
“The primary object of an efficient police is the prevention of crime: the next that of detection and punishment of offenders if crime is committed. To these ends all the efforts of police must be directed. The protection of life and property, the preservation of public tranquillity, and the absence of crime, will alone prove whether those efforts have been successful and whether the objects for which the police were appointed have been attained.”
Police officerIn attaining these objects, much depends on the approval and co-operation of the public, and these have always been determined by the degree of esteem and respect in which the police are held. One of the key principles of modern policing in Britain is that the police seek to work with the community and as part of the community.”
The degree and esteem of an independent Police Service is being sorely tested with these revelations.
Parliament is in the Borough of Westminster Email your concerns over the service’s reputation being at stake to this email address : westminster@met.police.uk
The Borough Commander should have direct access to the Commissioner and your views should be heard.
Errr… Ian Blair IS a Huhne.
Ian Huhne was a blair?
Brasso have announced that they now sponsor parliament. See my blog for details
Just out of curiousity, what cabinet ministers have not spoken to the media today? I’m wondering what to expect in the Sundays. Or is it Lib Dems tomorrow and Tories on Sunday – that might fit in with the telegraph’s recent pro-government stance.
1) Balls
2) Cooper
Thinsk this is being saved for Sunday – resignations Monday…
Who else?
Osborne seems very quiet – perhaps he is on someone’s yacht. Oh and sales of high end home furnishings have collapsed.
Colefax (very similar company to Osborne and Little) statement yesterday – “… trading in our major market, the USA, which represents approximately 50% of fabric division sales, has been more challenging than we anticipated. US sales for the three months to 30 April 2009 are down by 32% compared to the same period in the previous year.”
Hmmmm could be.
I notice our august PM is seeking to put some distance between him and his less ethical colleagues.
What are the chances of him talking about ” Mr Balls and Ms Cooper ” a la McBride next week ?
Will there be anyone lest to reshuffle ?
Right pair of snivelling, thieving c’unts. They can forget coming back up here to live once they’ve had their 2nd gaff taken off them that they’ve both been troughing on the take. Complete and utter losers. Blinded by their own incompetance and greed. Needed all they could though to put the kids through private school. Balls – the school minister – fucking hilarity at it’s peak.
I can not believe the audacity, the egregious duplicity the shameful fucking behaviour of these odious C**nts, I am so angry I can not believe that even they would have the audacity to blatantly go after someone who has the interest of the country, the taxpayer, the ordinary citizen at heart, who ever did copy the information is so brave he/she has put their job and properly home in jeopardy, I hope they made some real money they deserve it.
Thank you whoever you are.
We need a distraction. Time for a dodgy terrorist raid on some Manchester shithole (then release them all without charge in ten days).
Phew- thanks boys for keeping us all safe.

Is that a spoonerism?
It’s the main story: the Test Match
Gordon still hasn’t paid me for my “cleaning services” if you know what I mean! He’s naughty he is!
“I’ve often made comment on this……waffle waffle……nobody listens to me…..blah blah…..not helpful…..Tory troll…..blah blah”
Freetranslation could offer a new plugin for Hardwidge-speak.
Every single sentence would translate into “i am a hoon”.
I like that you assume the culprit is male.
He doesn’t, merely that the leaker is human: your interjection based on a report of another blogger’s comment is just irritating and suggests that either you do not understand the English language or that you are trying to provoke reaction to be exploited for a sexist rant against a non-sexist post.
Piss off Harriet
please, please, someone who can, remake the benefit fraud advert. You know the one, “we are watching your every move” “if you claim what isnt yours we will crush your children” etc etc
Sounds like a job for crown blogspot.
The Telegraph will have had their lawyers all over this like a rash while they’ve been developing the story over the last few weeks. Whereas the ‘Commons Authorities’ have made a knee-jerk and emotional response by calling for a police investigation.
I’ll guess that the DT will be pretty water-tight on this, plus as others have stated will help keep the story alive for a few weeks.
Surely someone in No 10 had the sense to ring the HoC “authorities” to make sure they didn’t do anything stupid…
Yup.
And the Met are ‘considering…’ etc. I cannot imagine a more overwhelming example of a public interest defence. Would not surprise me if the rozzers said no to the Right Hon and Hon tea leaves on the basis that a jury would be highly unlikely to convict, cost disproportionate etc.
Voters would pay to be on the jury !

Trouble is that the CPS (and the higher eschelons of the Police force) are so politicized now that who gets charged depends on the whim of “The Labour Party” – after all they got the Abrahams crew off the hook easily enough, “insufficient evidence” my arse.
Can we not replace ‘Hon, gentleman and Right Hon, lady with ‘ Hoon gentleman and Right Hoon lady’ ?
That way we’d not be infringing the Trade Descriptoions Act.
My only comfort is that the people of this country will despise these politicians forever. One day (i.e. next election) they will have to leave the Westminister dream world and make it on their own.
Nooo… They’ve all got their directorships arranged with companies (esp. Banks) that have been the recipents of Labour Patronage (using our money). They’re all set up for life.
Surely no bank will employ these scumbags?!
This is a terrible situation.
Can’t someone do something? The Queen, the army, someone? Are we totally defenceless?
Why not employ them………. the Banks employed the likes of “Fred the Shred” after all…….they might even end up with a Knighthood……….Fred did.
I fear this is all too true.
Either that, or they’ll end up ruling us all from Europe, like Kinnock(s).
A quick trawl of who’s on the board and withdraw your cash, move your mortgage, shun their busines with a polite letter explaining why something along the lines of…
“It has come to my notice that the ex Prime Minister/Whoever is listed as a Director/Non Exec Director/Advisor on your board of directors. I am therefore closing my account with you as I can have no confidence in your company.”
Should do the trick.
Believe me you have no idea how far up the arses of the bankers this government is & it’ll take me too long to tell you suffice to say securitization was NOT an American invention it was invented in the City of London. This is why Gordon relaxed regulation as had the status quo remained the credit crisis would not have happened because the banks wouldn’t have been able to reduce their deposits by playing the World-Wide markets.
The point I’m making is the banks owe Broown & his bottom feeding cronies so they WILL find them employment
The previous incumbent called tanks in to Heathrow to improve his standing – it failed.
I hope that this equally stupid act has the same response.
“How dare our exercise of following the rules get out to the proles”.
For information, I checked the spelling of incumbent online whilst typing this – the phonetic is ‘incum-bent’ – how apt.
Didn’t you love that ‘A Very Social Secretary’? On C4 a few years ago which Blunker tried to get an injunction to stop (they do have form, don’t they?)
An irate Kimberly Quinn stuck in a traffic jam on her mobile to Blunker near Heathrow…
Blunker: “No Darling, they’re armoured personnel vehicles…”
Quinn: “Well they look like fucking tanks to me!”
David Blunkett MUST be really sexy if she thought that he sent armoured cars out for them to engage in sexual activity!
Chuckling away at a bunch of journalists frothing at the mouth about the expense abuse of others!
Yeah but at least it ain’t OUR money they’re fiddling
Now that all this misappropriation of public money is being exposed, you will understand why MP’s of all parties, sacked Elizabeth Filkin. She looked too closely at what they were doing and they did not like it. So they sacked her. Are they corrupt? Of course they are. We need new rules and a new government, so hold an election NOW
Agreed, she has been forgotten about in all quarters except those that care.
I imagine many favours are being called in at lodges all round the Country in an attempt to get the lads in the squad involved in any investigation.
A good square investigation that is all on the level I hope.
Hear, Hear!
I believe the phrase that they (Troughers) used of her was that she was “difficult to work with.”
Personally I thought at the time that she would have made a fantastic Speaker of the House.
Yes, Filkin would have had them banged to rights in very short order, whereas the present incumbent does not appear to be particularly rigorous in his approach to this welter of immorality and corruption. Peerage in the balance, I suppose….
…and why the EU whistle-blower lady, who refused to sign off countless accounts, was eventually sacked by the Welsh Windbag himself, none other than Neil Pillock. Seems we are not alone in seeing the Political Class take over and doing as they please.
Scotland Yard are on the case, of Scotch the useless pissed up bastards.
Since when was it the job of the police to suck political knob?
Since,what was it called? “The Nolan Report”… the aftermath of the Steven Lawrence case.
The Police went through a “Political Correction” which made the post Gilligan Affair do at the BBC look tame by comparison.
True, the Nolan report was the written version of the Police being made to put the gimp mask on.
Ever thought that most contributors here could be wrong?
What if the leaking of Fatty Prescott needing two new toiled seats in a year is actually contrary to the Terrorism act and by being interested, we are all enemies of the (Police) State?
I’ve no problem with a Police State – as long as it works for the people.
54,898 at 5.20. It should be bursting at the seams by now!
Congratulations are in order for my mates Mucky Martin and Stu Bell and other ConLab worthies for defending the dignity of Parliament, against the prurient nosiness of oiks like you Guido and your anarchic sidekicks. Obviously, the Terrorism laws are in dire need of urgent updating.
Just because your snouts are not buried in the trough, is no reason for your silly dog in the manger attitudes. Where will it end if we give in to the likes of you. Submitting vouched expenses for a few miserable pounds like you and your manky readers.
You will be expecting us to do an honest days work next.
Just as well our long holidays are coming up soon and we can get away from your throwback Puritanism. Get a life man!
Pull your socks up, and get a proper job and let us get on with we do best. Ruling nobodies like you.
Britain never had it as good as us MPs.

The Code of Conduct for MPs (in existence since 1994) has these two first principles:
Selflessness
Holders of public office should take decisions solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends.
Accountability
Holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and actions to the public and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to their office.

The plod are onto McNulty according to Dizzy
http://dizzythinks.net/2009/05/mcnulty-police-probe.html
Nothing to stop any aggrieved member of the public asking the police to investigate fraud – just send them an email, name of suspected offender and how much they claimed…..
Sky breaking McNulty could face police probe over expenses
Al-Jabeeba are reporting this now though not in detail.
Not in the national interest I suppose.
The perfectly wonderful, beautiful and highly talented Joanna Lumley should be Speaker of the House of Commons. She will soon sort them out. If not, how about her becoming Prime Minister. It is about time we had someone of talent and integrity running this country. She still has her moral compass even if that idiot Brown is too blind even to see where it is.
Sorry 210
surly all the newpaper types have to say is that they found the file on a trainseat or sommink?
And they left the £300,000 where? Under the train seat?
Obviously not in the Speaker’s orifice – err, sorry – office.
Calling for Plod every time something embarrassing happens has become this Government’s trademark.
This same bunch of labourshites who accused the police of doing Maggie’s bidding during the miner’s strike are now using Plod as a political weapon themselves.
Never mind calling in Plod, let’s get the military in to get rid of these useless trough snaffling snoutsters and form a new Government as quickly as possible, preferably consisting of politicians who put their country before their bank balances. If any exist?
And who has the power to call in the military? Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas
That’s like calling in the police because someone stole your cocaine stash.
How fucking stupid are they?
Now the public will absolutely crucify them at the election.
When will they learn?
When you’re in a hole, stop digging, don’t send for some JCBs so that you can dig faster and harder.
Personally I think that the Anti terrorism squad should be called in, and the mole sent to the Tower to await execution for treason
Call the cops, excellent, Tony Mcnaulty is now being probed by the police, hows that! interseting times ahead methinks.
The koont McNulty is being investigated by the police …. Nice one
Maybe it was he who cashed in £300,000 from the Telegraph. I wouldnt put it past the greedy phocker !
Guido – Please run a WHERE IS McNULTY campaign. He’s gone AWOL – dont see him on TV anymore. He was always up there spouting government chite as if we were all phooking stupid.
I hope he has a stroke as well as the bong-eyed-koont.
Barefootcontessa. There’s something rotten in the state of “Denmark”, and I can smell it from here -France. Time for Revolution …….Guillotine?!
Has anybody tried reporting the offenders?
http://www.taxevasionhotline.co.uk/
What’s the best way to do this without them having the excuse bottle out?
Sorry – I meant to bottle out (using excuses like “website overwhelmed” or “trivial complaints” or “not our jurisdiction.)
Scotland Yard say Tony McNulty might face a police probe.
Huh? So will he or wont he? Cos this announcment sounds like a bit of Labour ordered spin to convince the voter that ‘action is being taken’.
As always, it will be a case of ‘insufficient evidence to support a prosecution’.
Classic NuLiebour spin.
I know that she’s meant to be “non compos mentis” (allegedly) but has anyone thought of asking “Thatch” for an opinion.
I remember that there was a fair amount of self enrichment going on at that time but I wonder what she makes of this shower?
Your evidence?
Well if she’s not “non compos mentis” I’d be interested in an opinion.
The reason I said allegedly was that was the impression I’d been given by the media. Hell, I’ve heard all sorts of things… that she’s an alcoholic being one of them.
I always thought she made sense myself.
I wondered what she thought of this shower of shits. The media hounds seem to be digging up all kinds of people for an opinion. I’d be interested in hers.
Ha ha, ‘Arry, mate, son. What would the great Thatch be able to tell us? Wasn’t she a fruit’n'veg shuffler, then a chemistry graduate and finally a prime minister. What the fuck use is it asking her about anything to do with the real world? Fucking useless, brain-dead tart, and I’m being generous.
Well she fucked over King Arthur well enough!
Some of us lived through the Thatcher years, I’m guessing you probably didn’t. No, I’m not pretending they were perfect by any means, but she took on the unions and their outdated practices in the face of enormous hostility from the bully-boys. Who could forget, day after day, the left-wing yobos appearing on the evening news and threatening the public with all sorts of trouble if they didn’t get their way? She had her faults but they were almost insignificant when compared with the current sacks of shit who infest our government and our democracy. Two things she didn’t lack were leadership and courage; two attributes the present lot wouldn’t recognise if they tripped over them.
Exactly, that’s why I wondered what she made of this.
Oh well, I elicited a response. I don’t care for any of them. They will always fuck you from behind. I lived through all that, Anus; left-wing thugs, right-wing yobbos – that’s when I decided to do it my own way and, boy, am I glad I did. I laugh with gay abandon at what is happening because I am, almost, totally removed from it. That is a mission I set myself when I was quite young, but thoughtful, and that is why I don’t take any of this shit seriously. If it affects you then you should be fucking angry. To me, it is just one big joke. Peace and goodwill.
I remember Thatcher all too well, and the memories are not happy. I haven’t seen any difference between her and those bastards of Nu Liebour.
I don’t wish any of them well
Huhnes the lot of them
Agreed but look where it got us NU fucking labour
A Jury trial of the leaker would be a wonderful opportunity
for the public to give Parliament a damned good slap
by finding the leaker not guilty.
The leaker will be judged nothing less than a hero. If a bunch of women can get away with breaking into a British Aerospace factory and smashing up some Hawks, our leaker should not be worried in the slightest – rarely has there been a better case of ‘the greater good’.
As a whistleblower, he will of course be crucified because if there’s one thing the political class is good at it’s closing ranks and hammering anyone who dares to challenge them. Hence, he will be toast by some means or other – but I’m certain a jury would never convict so they will get him in a more subtle way – but get him they will.
“parliament square” put into google maps now shows exactly where the lamp posts are (especially if you cross reference with street photos). It shouldn’t be too hard to mash up a designated Google Earth map of the 643 with names for each post. It might stretch past Whitehall but wouldn’t it look lovely with all those bodies slowly swinging in the Thames breeze
That’s not the way we do things in Britain.
It’s hang, draw and quarter, if you don’t mind.
Dr Starkey
Is peculation really high treason? And aren’t women entitled to straightforward decapitation?
hanging in this case is surely not too good for them.
Some of them are clearly witches and ought to be burned at the stake.
Witches were drowned it was traitors who were hung drawn and quartered.

Be interesting if the culprit protests it’s all a fake- Evidence would then need to be produced that the leak is genuine- would our leaders go into the witness box and swear that they yes, they really did claim that much for that just like it says. And if the DPP drops the case then the telegraph can sue for misrepresentation- so the defense would be calling honourable members as witnesses. Sound like the DT could make up for the cost in sales.
I guess there are numerous (if expensive) ways we could force MPs to stand up in court and swear under oath and cross examination, that these are their expense recoords, and that they really needed it for the public good. Perhaps Mrs. Fawkes could help?
This lot really have lost the plot I suspect Labour voters will be really peed off to find their ‘socialist’ representatives are no better than anyone else who’s on the make
Also have you noticed just how vindictive & unpleasant this lot are when cornered Lets shoot the messenger & lets punish the Gurkhas for making us look idiots
Talking of shooting the messenger don’t they ever learn look what happened the last time they tried it bloody egg all over their faces
Just watched Jon Snow take Harpic to task on 4 Have to admit he take any of Her crap. He without being impolite (although it was touch & go) called them all including her as thieves to quote: ‘bunging’ themselves from public funds :unquote It was lovely to see the bloody crook squirm
Yup, JS left Harperson Man-Hater struggling for words – and when she found them we didn’t believe her anyway of course.
By the way, I didn’t think governments commented on leaked documents? That what they are always telling us. Trouble is – the water’s coming in faster than they can bail it out so there is now an air of desperation.
Guido, the wretched YouTube ad above where I’m typing this is a bloody awful distraction. Furthermore, a young and very pretty girl is asking me if I ‘can do two’. Probably not at my age. Sorry to disappoint.
I’ve declined (at least my PC has) the flash add-on needed to activate it so I’m OK
She should have been interviewed by a woman as her oestrogen would not have lead her to be as hostile as a testosterone fuelled bad boy!
how about removing your mortgage and overdraft to Barclays?
Respect!!
I would add that the cocaine stash thats been paid for by the taxpayer
My men are ready, awaiting orders.

All you whingers are fucking pathetic, Thatcher saved us from being third world status and you idiots moan and moan and moan, If you’s didn’t like it then why did you’s keep voting Conservatives again and again until 1997. I bet you’s will be voting the boys in blue though next year to fix your mess.
Back under our rule the pound was worth a pound now under Labour a fiver in your pocket is only worth a pound in real money once you’ve made the adjustments.
I aint saying we the tories are perfect but for fucks sake all we do is make you richer, fix your problems and then get bloody voted out by you thick Huhnes again and again till you bankrupt yourselves and expect us to change your diapers and clean up your shit again and again.
Sooner or later it’s gonna be bloody impossible to balance the books of the UK, Labour will sink you’s once and for all, Do the right thing and let us and the Lib Dems become your two parties of choice permantely!!
Let’s end Labours reign of terror once and for all.
Mandelson spent a few grand on repairs to his second home and claimed it on expenses. Then he sold the property for £136,000 PROFIT! Profit to himself, that is.
Macavity Prudence Broon has been putting plumbing bills for his second home on expenses. They are already getting a free house to sell, how on earth can they claim expenses on it???
These people are flipping property using public money, quite blatantly. We should be looking at prison. Never mind the Commons “rules.” This is very blatant criminal fraud.
If someone had blown the whistle on civil service expenses, and the same greed and dishonesty was found, would the Police be called in to investigate the leaker or the dishonest?
‘Suppose it depends on their grade. Might be worth an FOI on senior civil service expenses.
Hmmmm…..
[...] This could be fun. Guido (of course, who else?) has a thing about the panic about the leak about a leak. How could you not laugh, I mean it’s just got silly now? Here’s the rest of it. [...]
So. Let me get this right.
It is fine for MPs to do what they have done, as it has all been within the regulations.
It is >b>NOT fine for the banks to do what they have done, despite it being within the regulations.
Shurely shome mishtake?
Read the Green Book they are NOT acting within the rules AND they know it. Broadly speaking the rules state their claims should be beyond criticism & NOT be open to suggestions of personal enrichment
These instances of grotesque fraud may be within these “regulations”, “Commons rules” whatever we call them That doesn’t make it legal though, surely?
Flipping property using public funds? Surely that constitutes a possible prison sentence?
Come on Boris. Just tell the Commissioner of the Met. You know what happened to Ian Blair. Go anywhere near Westminster then I will sack you.
As I said in Initial Services v. Putterill [1968] 1 QB 396, “There is no confidence as to the disclosure of iniquity”. The whistleblower need have no fear.
Evening All,
Cyber cops here. You lot are all under arrest on suspicion of being conservative, fox hunting public school bastards.Please report to your local re-education initiative in Manchester for alignment training. Winners get an ID card. PS please complete your 70 page Equality and Diversity Assessment before turning up. Forms available from your local station (railway,not police,as we are on a secret operation in Tesco’s wine section looking for an Al Quaeda cell ( or 2 for 1 offers) Oh shit,operation compromised.Never mind,I’ll have to retire with a large pension and a huge payoff.
Our mates at the CPS say there are no grounds to nick any MPS,so we have to make up the targets by going for you lot.
Mind how you go
Excellent article,full of “sarcasm”.Meanwhile I get means tested,as a pensioner (£110 per week),paid all my NI,60 pages+ form to fill in.Idiots, on “gold-plated salaries+pensions”,paid out of my Council tax,constantly checking up on me.They pretend there looking after my welfare,but just bluddy snooping,and I pay for them.Give me a bomb,when I’ve nothing left of my pension,I’ve lots of “public service targets.
Anarchist cookbook rules!!
As somebody said, no jury will ever convict the whistle-blower.
A great day for the citizens..
Rock on
We have to remember that to attract real talent we have to pay the most (yes and we know what a mess the bankers got us all into don’t we) So MP’s think they should be treated like bankers, again with the largess from the public purse.

Asking the Questions on McBride.
Copy of Email (and response) to my local NuLabour MP:
Thank you for your response, xxxxx, and your agreement that this type of behaviour within government is entirely unacceptable. I understand the Prime Minister took immediate and effective action to ensure that Mr McBride was no longer associated with Government.
As you ask whether further assistance can be offered, may I ask that you formally confirm (or have confirmed on my behalf) that Mr Damian McBride is not, and will never wil be in future, employed by either of Downing Sreet or the Civil Service ?
Thank you.

From: xxx@parliament.uk
To: xxxxx@hotmail.com
Dear xxxxxx
I write to thank you for your email sent on 15th April 2009. I was appalled by the actions of Damian McBride and agree that the current political culture at the heart of Government needs to change. It is vital in a Parliamentary democracy that discussions within Government and also within political parties on policy issues are allowed to take place and I believe it is totally wrong for this to be stifled and for personal attacks to occur against people who may disagree with the Prime Minister.
I was pleased to see Mr. McBride resign and hope the Prime Minister now acts to ensure that decisions are taken in a much more open and transparent environment.
I agree with you that huge damage has been done by not just this episode but by various others.
If you feel I can be of any further assistance on this or any other issue please do not hesitate to get in touch.
With Best Wishes,
